Gianna stood there, shocked at the way they talked about her like she was invisible.
“Meet Gianna, my new P.” He introduced “Gianna, meet my woman, my love” He kissed her and they both laughed. “Meet my woman, Selena”.
“Nice to meet you” Gianna stretched her hand for a handshake.
“Hmm” Selena nodded, ignoring Gianna's hand.
“So….” Selena turned and kissed him passionately. She began unbuttoning his shirt. Embarrassed by their actions, Gianna turned to leave.
“Gianna darling, don’t leave yet. I need you to get my bag to the car” Selena smiled at Gianna.
“What!”
“ Do you have a problem with that?” She questioned Gianna.
“No, she doesn’t”. Ethan answered and looked at Gianna
“Let’s go baby” Celine stood up, still staring at Gianna. She took Ethan’s hand in hers and giggled as they walked out. Gianna sighed, took her bag, and followed them. She dropped the bag in Celine's Bugatti La Voiture Noire. Not only did she look expensive, but she also had a beautiful and expensive car just like her.
“Where to?” Ethan smiled as he got into her car.
“Far away from the world” She smiled and started the car. Gianna walked in angrily. She wished the time could develop wings and fly quickly. Gianna sat in her office, feeling humiliated. Shrugging off the feeling, Gianna continued her work. As soon as it was time for her to leave, she stood up and locked her office.
“Hey Gianna” Simon called.
“Hi” She smiled.
“Heading home?”
“Sure”
“Can I drop you off?” He offered.
“No, thanks” She smiled.
“Please, let me drop you off”
“Okay”
They walked to his car and just like the gentleman he was, he opened the door to let her in.
“Thank you” She smiled.
“My pleasure” He smiled and ran quickly to the driver’s seat. He started the car.
“So… Gianna”
“Yes,” She turned to him.
“How did today turn out for you, your first day at our company?” He questioned, concentrating on the road.
“Stressful is just an understatement but I guess I would get accustomed to it” She smiled.
“One thing I don’t understand is Ethan’s dramatic change. One minute, he is cool. The next minute, he turns aggressive. He acts like two completely different people. Like a protagonist and antagonist at intervals,” She shook her head. “Turn to the left” She ordered.
“Ethan” Simon chuckled. “No one understands him”
“He is mysterious"
“True”.
They became quiet again and concentrated on the journey. She directed Simon.
“Here. This is my house” She pointed and signaled to Simon to stop.
“Thank you. Goodnight” She smiled at him and alighted.
“Go in. I'll watch you go in” He smiled at her.
“Do you want to come in for a drink?”
“No thanks. My mother would get too worried if I don’t arrive in time”
“What! A grown-up like you? Your mother still watches over you?” She giggled.
“Ye,s she does” He smiled, a bit embarrassed.
“That’s nice” She smiled again, before walking in. After watching her get in, Simon drove off.
“Oh my!” She collapsed into a chair. She took a short nap, before making dinner. Just like her stomach knew, it growled hungrily. Gianna rubbed her stomach before settling to have dinner. She was so tired. She picked up her phone and dialed Elizabeth’s number.
“Hey, Annie. I am sorry I did not call back. It skipped my mind” Elizabeth pleaded over the phone.
“Sure, cause I am not important to you”
“No, don’t talk like that Gianna. I'm sorry. Fred has an important event and as you know, as his P.A, I have to do everything possible to get everything in order” She pleaded.
“Are you home yet?”
“Yes, I just did. My car broke down”
“Sorry” She pleaded.
“It’s fine. How was your first day at work?”
“It's cool but stressful.”
“Really? Was Ethan as arrogant as you thought?” Elizabeth asked.
“Well,” Gianna jumped on her bed. “I can’t say yet. At first, he was all nice, caring, and benevolent. The next minute, he was aggressive, rude, and annoying.
He switched between the two different personalities throughout my stay there today so I really can’t say.” She curled her hair with her fingers continuously.
“Fred acts like that sometimes too. With time, you would get accustomed to it” She smiled.
“I hope so. One thing I can’t get accustomed to is his girlfriend’s arrogance and her uncultured attitude”
“His girlfriend? That model?” Elizabeth questioned curiously.
“Yes. Right in front of me, she shamelessly began seducing him. She began unbuttoning his shirt right in front of me. If I hadn’t tried to leave, they might have gotten down to business right in front of me.
She also instructed me to carry her bag to her car. She has no iota of dignity in her” She explained.
“That’s so shameless” Elizabeth shook her head as if Gianna could see her.
“I need to go to sleep now. I don’t want to be late to work tomorrow like I was today” Anita yawned.
“What! You are stupid! You were late today?” Elizabeth questioned.
“Well, that’s a topic for another day. Goodnight” She ended the call quickly, she didn’t want to be scolded by Elizabeth. She put off her light and went to bed.
